Hello! Just wanted to give out some advice as far as hair care goes.
I know alot of times we may go to our stylist and they offer us a professional product they have used in our hair and we love it but it's a little costly in the salon... so we might see it in a walmart, target, cvs, or walgreens or anything of that matter a little cheaper then what our stylist has offered to us as far as the pricing goes. DO NOT BUY IT. unless it is from a professional distributor or a salon that gets them from a professional distrbutor (which all salons do), it's not the real thing.
Somehow the are replicated in some sort of way. perhaps its a redkin shampoo, when they come from walmart or a stroe of that sort, they may look the same on the outside but the inside could be a totally different thing or have extar added ingedients and you also dont know how long they have been sitting from wherever they came from or if they have been sitting on the shelf for a long time ( these products that somehow end up in theses stores are called "fall off the truck products").
I know when I usually go to CVS and seeing OLD paul mitchell products ( I can tell by the print work) I know not to buy it!
so if you want a professional product, its best to get it from your hairstylist or local salon it may be a little costly but it is definitely worth it.. do your research!
actually, I would also go "Just don't buy them ever", it's not even about quality. There are a lot of reasons, why you don't have to buy professional hair products, but the main reason "PROFESSIONAL".
